چکیده
The design of Systems-on-Chip is becoming an increasing difficult challenge due to the continuous exponential evolution of the targeted complex architectures and applications. Thus, seamless methodologies and tools are required to resolve the SoC design issues. This chapter presents a high level component based approach for expressing system reconfigurability in SoC co-design. A generic model of reactive control is presented for Gaspard2, a SoC co-design framework. Control integration in different levels of the framework is explored along with a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages. Afterwards, control integration at another high abstraction level is investigated which proves to be more beneficial then the other alternatives. This integration allows to integrate reconfigurability features in modern SoCs. Finally a case study is presented for validation purposes. The presented works are based on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and UML MARTE profile for modeling and analysis of real-time embedded systems.

متن کاملIP Design for Dynamically Reconfigurable SoCs
Reconfigurable computing is a relatively new paradigm. While there is a growing number of new reconfigurable architectures there is a lack of design tools to map applications onto these architectures. The design tools must exploit the benefits of reconfiguration in order to deploy such architectures successfully. In this paper we present some fundamental ideas on how to take advantage of reconf...

To facilitate the development of the dynamically partially reconfigurable system (DPRS), we propose a model-based platform-specific co-design (MPC) methodology for DPRS with hardware virtualization and preemption. For DPRS analysis and validation, a model-based verification and estimation framework is proposed to make model-driven architecture (MDA) more realistic and applicable to the DPRS des...
